Yes, similar problem here. If more than 1 job is in the queue, then
one job will hang. If one aborts a printing job, it will hang, too.
Sometimes a job is printed several times.
tcpip works very well with the Kyocera FS-3750.

For the tektronix 740, I use (reliable) the lpr interface
(replace TEK0AFB47 acoordingly to your printer-number):

printer=dali
ppad interface $printer lpr TEK0AFB47@$printer
ppad options $printer exaggerated_size=4000000000
ppad ppd $printer "tkp740e1.ppd"
ppad switchset $printer -P trustme -H editps --responder-options 'printed=no canceled=no' -w severe -w log --strip-printer false -R duplex:simplex -o dvipsconfig=post
ppad comment $printer "Tektronix Phaser 740 Extended"
